Table of Contents

“Seemingly tailored to the smallest listeners, the simple, patterned text and repeated refrain make it easy for them to join in the reading… The author’s signature pulp-painting illustrations fill the spreads with mottled jewel tones and the texture of the handmade paper.  Audience participation required…likely again and again and again.” --Kirkus Reviews, Starred

“With mesmerizing words rolling along, this large-format bedtime book does its job so well that it’s hard to repress a yawn when the story winds down to its quiet ending.” -- Booklist, http://www.marthagraham.org/

“Fleming’s pulp papermaking technique, with its soft edges, warm colors, and highly textured look, gives this book just the right tone…a pleasing sight.” -- School Library Journal
